    drivers: hamradio: 6pack: fix UAF bug caused by mod_timer() · efe4186e
    Duoming Zhou authored
    When a 6pack device is detaching, the sixpack_close() will act to cleanup
    necessary resources. Although del_timer_sync() in sixpack_close()
    won't return if there is an active timer, one could use mod_timer() in
    sp_xmit_on_air() to wake up timer again by calling userspace syscall such
    as ax25_sendmsg(), ax25_connect() and ax25_ioctl().
    
    This unexpected waked handler, sp_xmit_on_air(), realizes nothing about
    the undergoing cleanup and may still call pty_write() to use driver layer
    resources that have already been released.
    
    One of the possible race conditions is shown below:
    
          (USE)                      |      (FREE)
    ax25_sendmsg()                   |
     ax25_queue_xmit()               |
      ...                            |
      sp_xmit()                      |
       sp_encaps()                   | sixpack_close()
        sp_xmit_on_air()             |  del_timer_sync(&sp->tx_t)
         mod_timer(&sp->tx_t,...)    |  ...
                                     |  unregister_netdev()
                                     |  ...
         (wait a while)              | tty_release()
                                     |  tty_release_struct()
                                     |   release_tty()
        sp_xmit_on_air()             |    tty_kref_put(tty_struct) //FREE
         pty_write(tty_struct) //USE |    ...
    
    The corresponding fail log is shown below:
    ===============================================================
    BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __run_timers.part.0+0x170/0x470

      __do_softirq+0xf1/0x380
      ...
    
    This patch reorders the del_timer_sync() after the unregister_netdev()
    to avoid UAF bugs. Because the unregister_netdev() is well synchronized,
    it flushs out any pending queues, waits the refcount of net_device
    decreases to zero and removes net_device from kernel. There is not any
    running routines after executing unregister_netdev(). Therefore, we could
    not arouse timer from userspace again.
